With scarcely a dislin- nmhablo rise from the river plains, lhe road hero wsses directly ihrongh or between lhe mountains, emerging in the open valley of the Del Nortc, icre some forty or fifty miles broad, or more pro- icrlv a continuation northward of the valley in which the Del Norle runs. Crossing Ihis flat country, or opening between the mountains, and encountering no water course in its way, lhe road would reach lhe entrance of a pass in Iho Colorado mountains, familiarly known to tho New Mcx- alis and Indian traders who ore accuMomed to it at all seasons of the year, and who represent it as conducting to the waters of lhe Colorado river through a handsome rolling grass- covered counlry, and affording practicable wagon les. This section of the route, so far as the entrance to this pass, covering twelve degrees of longilude, 1 am able lo speak of from aclnal exploration, and to say that lhe line described is not only practicable, but affords many and singular facilities fortlie construction of a railway, and offers many advantages in the fertile and wooded country through which il lies in lhe greater part of its course.

Up the Kansas and Huerfano river vallejs, the country is wooded and the vallej of the Del Norle is open, but wood is abundant in the neighboring mountains, and land fit for cultivation is found almost continuously along the water courses, from Iho mouth of the Kansas lo lhe head of lhe valley of Ihe Del Norle.
